Actually Poems - Poems about Actually

Time lost is actually time stolen

He was barely an adult when he was entered into the system
He was an educated law abiding citizen
But due to the fact he was black
It was sympathy they lacked
He faxed a lifetime of imprisonment 
And an impending death penalty 
All because he was at the wrong place at the wrong time 
His only crime
Was being

What is this Love, Actually

What is this love we seek to find and hold?
It twists and contorts, resistant to enfold.
A surprising elusive shadow, that pops up from the mist?
When we least expect it, to enlist when kissed.

This love actually, defies logic and common sense!
For whom we love, truly deeply is beyond any pretense, 
Any hope that its stickiness can

WHO ACTUALLY IS LIKE US

Who actually is like us
The modern world you see today
Right before your eyes,
Who done this and who done that
Well you’re in for a wee surprise.

From the Bank of England to the Bank of France
Then we invented the BBC,
How the hell did we manage that
For a country that`s so wee.

We gave them the US navy
And the

Abstractually Speaking

Eyes teleporting in zig zags
Spamming like daggers
Humanoid skull
Veins expanding out
Skeleton hand orbiting
Soul screaming
Love burning
Shrouded in darkness



It's hard to frame it in a picture
It's hard to add it in a mixture
Abstract emotions are swelling behind the light of my
retinas

Demonic angels i guess
A challenge to a game of chess
I'll chant a curse and I'll bless it
Abstractually speaking

Freedom

("Peyote Dreams", 2018, original encaustic)

Freedom

Freedom blah blah blah
Say the b*tches in heat
Drawn forever to follow
What is merely their meat

Freedom they say,
but clearly don’t know
What they possibly mean
When their life is all show

Now liberty waits
Once you awake
It may seem so simple
It may seem so fake

But it’s real I tell you
And it comes from the heart
A heart

I’m,,,? Actually I don’t know anymore

It's that part of the year again,
How many times has this happened?
When did it start?
I can’t remember.
When my mind rages like a storm-tossed sea,
And I sit, helpless, drowning,
In waves that crash harder each time,
Every time believing it's my last,
Every time thinking I've survived,
But I’m just left sinking, gasping.

I am unchecked,
I urge myself to seek therapy,
To

I Actually Saw This

A full moon
shinning 
light on the 
ocean is an
ultrasound of
the womb.

Id Actually Forgotten

It’s the little things,
that remind me of my aunt,
 and how in some unusual way,
she may still be alive,
if only in the memory,
a passing morning train, 
tea bags splaying suddenly, 
from unopened cupboards,
 I’d actually forgotten somehow,
her favourite cup and saucer, 
with cracks down the side,
pictures strewn in drawers,
 redolent of precious moments, 
framed photos

A Brief Shaggy Dog Story that actually Ends

   A shaggy dog espied a graceful cat
     She arched her back, he fell flat
   on his jowls, she pivoted - nose up
     His paws akimbo, Shaggy arfed
         Wait, dear cat, I can explain that

Do You Even Actually Like Me?

Do you like me?
Honestly,
And I don’t mean romantically. 
Cause you say we’re friends 
But it feels like
When I walk into a room you leave 

And your touching me almost constantly
On days you feel like touch
But you slap my hand and move away
At even just a brush

You squeeze my cheeks
And smack my head
Insult me with a

Love Actually Bonds Are Unbreakable Make No Mistake

Never gave it a single seconds thought

What love in fact actually is

Why on earth would i

Merely just took it for granted

As I hope you did to

No need for word

The silent word is true perfection

Wins out and comes out hopefully 

Because we actually do

Never ever questioned it at all

Neither did you thankfully either

That to me is

Actually Going Outside

Actually Going Outside

We decide to do the cliff walk
from Bray to Greystones
even though the day is grey
and the heavy clouds are low overhead
with a distinct possibility that it will bucket out of the skies
but we don’t care
because we’ve set aside the day for this
and a few pissy showers aren’t going to stop us
from making the

He and She

Goes with someone but leaves alone, he lives in denial but hopes for a sweet alright, dreams have stopped he burns the midnight oil, afraid to sleep consciously he chases the dawn, he smiles and hides, slides his hand collects his bite and leaves everything behind.

She is thankful she is wise, pretends to be nice

Actually I Like Russia

Actually, I like Russia
But want her to join Asia:
Doesn’t really belong to Europe;
Like she is there tired with a rope:
So much Asian bravado:
Others under my shadow!

Shall I forget her Brezhnev 
To Cowboy Reagan, Quite Brave
Or her Yuri Andropov 
Whom you couldn’t say was ‘Dove’
Then, they were dying much fast
Chernenko could not quite last

Also, like Russian

The Polite Society

He cried and cried when he had found the Three Penny Opera
was performed to insult his grandfather. "they smiled and treated me kind, all the time insulting me. His grandfather too was insulted as the playwriter rewrote the book using his grandfathers image. He replaced most issues of condoning prostitution with racial overtures and used
